LTL stands for less than truckload. Ltl trucking jobs often require many stops with loading and unloading. LTL Drivers get paid pretty well but the pay can vary greatly because the way a LTL carrier operates and compensates vary. Some drivers pull pups from terminal to terminal. Some drivers will stop off across states with a few pieces here and a few there.
There is a lot of specialization withing the LTL freight trucking arena. For instance lift gate service or residential service. A lot of your local trucking jobs will be LTL trucking jobs too.
Can you give us a better description of what it is like to have this type of trucking job? How is it different from pulling a dry van? What extra training will you need? How long does it take get get trained? Is there a school that provides the training or is it done on the job? What extra responsibilities are there? How long did you do this type of trucking job for? Did you like it? Was it worth the money for the work you do beyond pulling dry van or do you get the same pay?
